Zion and Jerusalem, September 22, 2013
O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have
gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye
would not!
(Doctrine and Covenants | Section
43:24)
For behold, the field is white already to harvest;
and it is the eleventh hour, and the last time that I shall call laborers into
my vineyard.
(Doctrine and Covenants
| Section 33:3)
We would have healed Babylon,
but she is not healed
(Old Testament
| Jeremiah 51:9)
forsake her, and let us go every one into his own
country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
(Old Testament
| Jeremiah 51:9)
Wherefore, I the Lord, knowing
the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth, called
upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and spake unto him from heaven, and gave
him commandments; And also gave commandments to others, that they should proclaim these things unto the world; and all this
that it might be fulfilled, which was written by the prophets— The weak things
of the world shall come forth and break down the mighty and strong ones, that
man should not counsel his fellow man, neither trust in the arm of flesh— But that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord,
even the Savior of the world; That faith also might increase in the
earth; That mine everlasting covenant might be established; That the fulness of
my gospel might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the
world, and before kings and rulers.
(Doctrine and Covenants
| Section 1:17 - 23)
And the voice of warning shall be unto all people, by the mouths of
my disciples, whom I have chosen in these last days.
(Doctrine and Covenants
| Section 1:4)
When the angel Moroni appeared to the
Prophet Joseph Smith on that eventful evening of the 21st day of
September 1823, he quoted numerous Old Testament scriptures and proceeded to explain
or expound upon some of them. The Prophet Joseph Smith did not make known to us
the names and chapters of the various books quoted to him y Moroni, with the
exception of a few three chapters of the Old testament which consisted of part
of the prophecies of Malachi in chapter 3 and all of Malachi chapter 4, also Isaiah
Chapter 11, and Joel chapter 2:28—32.
But the part that I am
particularly prompted today to remind us all is the one concerning the Rod and
the root that shall come out of the stem of Jesse as recorded in Isaiah Chapter
11. The scripture that references the messenger of the LORD as recorded in the
book of Malachi; and last but not least,
the charge of giving heed to the living prophet like unto Moses as recorded in
the book of Exodus which respectively say:
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of
Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the
spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit
of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick
understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight
of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: But with
righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of
the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the
breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the
girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
(Isaiah 11:1—5)
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall
prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to
his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he
shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who
shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like
fuller's soap:
And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver; and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and
silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.
(Malachi 3:1—3)
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise
up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things
whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear
that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
(New Testament
| Acts 3:22 - 23)
"This is no meaningless rhetoric in which we engage here today. We speak of hard facts, of the realities of life.
There was a time in ancient America when such blessings came to this land and lasted for two hundred years. Peace and prosperity were everywhere. There were no wars, no crimes, no jails, no poverty, no moral corruption, and none of the diseases which sins produce—not for two hundred years.
This is no storybook tale. It was a great reality. It was a vital chapter in world history that came but has never been repeated. Yet it can be repeated now in our day, on the same terms.
The billions we spend on armaments could be directed to peaceful pursuits.
The billions that are lost in crime could be diverted toward improving the human race.
There would be no racial conflicts, no strikes, no boycotts or lockouts, no armies or navies, and no satellite spy operations.
It is all within our reach as a great physical reality. The price is far less than what we now pay, and the rewards are indescribably greater.
O Jerusalem! O America! O England, and all other countries! The Lord says to all, “Come unto me, … and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen."
Thus as them of old do the prophets of today speak.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent
unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her
wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I
say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord.
(New Testament | Matthew
23:37 - 39)
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the
voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD
shall bring again Zion.
(Old Testament
| Isaiah 52:8)
O ye people of these great cities which have
fallen, who are descendants of Jacob, yea, who are of the house of Israel, how
oft have I gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and
have nourished you. And again, how oft would I have gathered you as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her wings, yea, O ye people of the house of
Israel, who have fallen; yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, ye that dwell
at Jerusalem, as ye that have fallen; yea, how oft would I have gathered you as
a hen gathereth her chickens, and ye would not.
O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, how oft
will I gather you as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will
repent and return unto me with full purpose of heart. But if not, O house of Israel, the
places of your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling
of the covenant to your fathers.
(Book of Mormon | 3
Nephi 10:4 - 7)
O, ye nations of the earth, how often would I have
gathered you together as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye
would not!
How oft have I called upon you by the
mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice,
and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice
of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the
voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a
trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day
long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and
would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not!
Behold, the day has come, when the cup of the wrath
of mine indignation is full. Behold, verily I say unto you, that these are the
words of the Lord your God.
(Doctrine and Covenants
| Section 43:24 - 27)
Today I woke up hurting to my
limbs and bones, as if I had been beaten up and with little strength for the
great and terrible dreams I endured last night because I have seen eye to eye
what the LORD will shortly do. Great and terrible were the things I saw in my
dream last night before the consuming fire. It is no mystery. To those that know me that I roam among the
dead where I preach the gospel of repentance as much as I do during the day
when I publish blogs. Beyond the veil of the living, it is a telestial world of
intrigue, chaos and desolation. It was as if I was surrounded by demons and
even hell who did not spare me a minute of rest to try to entrap me. Time and again, all hell broke lose in my
whereabouts and I barely made it to wake up and tell the tale. I do not know if you have noticed, but I speak
as if by the dust or the voice of the dead.
Then and there, I experience heavy and dramatic destructions that are
taking place in the spirit world as we speak’ and which will shortly come to
pass or translate or materialize into the physical world in a few or several
days.
FEAR GOD AND GIVE
GLORY TO HIM
FOR THE HOUR OF HIS
JUDGEMENT IS COME
A couple of weeks ago, I dreamed
likewise and not many days later chaos was operant in the world and as a result
TODAY people mourn the loss of loved ones either as a result of natural
catastrophes or social ills inflicted by wicked and perverse men that act as
the devices of the devil to inflict blood and horror on the face of the earth. It is not important what I see or what I
hear, but only that I able to sound the voice of warning so that people beware
and take measured to save or protect themselves by calling upon the LORD. All I can say is that I saw vapor of smoke
and exceedingly heavy volcanic eruptions of Biblical or apocalyptic
proportions. And that these things are
the consequences of sin or of breaking the laws of GOD and of Natural law. And that as the prophets of God has said,
nothing but repentance and faith in the LORD Jesus Christ who should come in
majesty, power and glory can save this people. And I am here to declare it to
you in unimaginable ways but you will not receive me. And it is the spirit of
GOD that compels me to write in these heart pricking and threatening ways and I
cannot be restrained. For the LORD thru
his prophets has time and again said that nothing short of these things will
keep this wicked and perverse generation from going down speedily to
destruction.
And there were exceedingly many prophets among
us. And the people were a stiffnecked
people, hard to understand. And there was nothing save
it was exceeding harshness, preaching and prophesying of wars, and contentions,
and destructions, and continually reminding them of death, and the duration of
eternity, and the judgments and the power of God, and all these things—stirring
them up continually to keep them in the fear of the Lord. I say there was nothing short of these
things, and exceedingly great plainness of speech, would keep them from going
down speedily to destruction. And after
this manner do I write concerning them.
(Book of Mormon
| Enos 1:22 - 23)
Yea, heavy destruction awaiteth this people, and it
surely cometh unto this people, and nothing can save this people save it be
repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, who surely shall come into the
world, and shall suffer many things and shall be slain for his people. And
behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and he did bring glad
tidings to my soul. And behold, I was
sent unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad tidings; but
behold ye would not receive me.
(Book of Mormon
| Helaman 13:6 - 7)
And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs
in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be
turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable
day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(New Testament
| Acts 2:19 - 21)
Behold, my brethren, I say unto you, that these
things must shortly come; yea, even blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must
come; and it must needs be upon the face of this earth; and it cometh unto men
according to the flesh if it so be that they will harden their hearts against
the Holy One of Israel.
For behold, the righteous shall not perish; for the
time surely must come that all they who fight against Zion shall be cut off. And the Lord will
surely prepare a way for his people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses,
which he spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you,
like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto
you. And it shall come to pass that all
those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.
And now I, Nephi, declare unto you, that this
prophet of whom Moses spake was the Holy One of Israel; wherefore, he shall execute
judgment in righteousness.
And the righteous need not fear, for they are those
who shall not be confounded. But it is
the kingdom of the devil, which shall be built up among the children of men,
which kingdom is established among them which are in the flesh—
For the time speedily shall come that all churches
which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power
over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the
world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world,
and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the
kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; they are
those who must be brought low in the dust; they are those who must be consumed
as stubble; and this is according to the words of the prophet. And the time
cometh speedily that the righteous must be led up as calves of the stall, and
the Holy One of Israel must reign in dominion, and might, and power, and great
glory.
And he gathereth his children from the four
quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there
shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him
they shall find pasture. And because of the righteousness of his people, Satan
has no power; wherefore, he cannot be loosed for the space of many years; for he
hath no power over the hearts of the people, for they dwell in righteousness,
and the Holy One of Israel
reigneth.
And now behold, I, Nephi, say unto you that all
these things must come according to the flesh. But, behold, all nations,
kindreds, tongues, and people shall dwell safely in the Holy One of Israel if it so
be that they will repent.
And now I, Nephi, make an end; for I durst not
speak further as yet concerning these things.
Wherefore, my brethren, I would that ye should
consider that the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are
true; and they testify that a man must be obedient to the commandments of God.
Wherefore, ye need not suppose that I and my father
are the only ones that have testified, and also taught them. Wherefore, if ye shall be obedient to the
commandments, and endure to the end, ye shall be saved at the last day. And thus it is. Amen.
(Book of Mormon
| 1 Nephi 22:18 - 31)
For I will make my people with whom the Father hath
covenanted, yea, I will make thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs
brass. And thou shalt beat in pieces
many people; and I will consecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
And behold, I am he who doeth it. And it shall come to pass, saith the
Father, that the sword of my justice shall hang over them at that day; and
except they repent it shall fall upon them, saith the Father, yea, even upon
all the nations of the Gentiles. And it shall come to pass that I will
establish my people, O house of Israel.
(Book of Mormon
| 3 Nephi 20:19 - 21)
And behold, this people will I establish
in this land, unto the fulfilling of the covenant which I made with your father
Jacob; and it shall be a New Jerusalem.
And the powers of heaven shall be in the midst of this people; yea, even
I will be in the midst of you.
(Book of Mormon
| 3 Nephi 20:22)
Behold, I am he of whom Moses spake, saying: A
prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul who
will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people. Verily I say
unto you, yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as
many as have spoken, have testified of me.
And behold, ye are the children of the prophets;
and ye are of the house of Israel;
and ye are of the covenant which the Father made with your fathers, saying unto
Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. The
Father having raised me up unto you first, and sent me to bless you in turning
away every one of you from his iniquities; and this because ye are the children
of the covenant— And after that ye were blessed then fulfilleth the Father the covenant
which he made with Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the
earth be blessed—unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through me upon the
Gentiles, which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all,
unto the scattering of my people, O house of Israel.
And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this
land. Nevertheless, when they shall have
received the fulness of my gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts
against me I will return their iniquities upon their own heads, saith the
Father.
And I will remember the covenant which I have made
with my people; and I have covenanted with them that I would gather them
together in mine own due time, that I would give unto them again the land of
their fathers for their inheritance, which is the land of Jerusalem, which is
the promised land unto them forever, saith the Father. And it shall come to
pass that the time cometh, when the fulness of my gospel shall be preached unto
them; And they shall believe in me, that I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and
shall pray unto the Father in my name.
Then shall their watchmen lift up their
voice, and with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to
eye.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 20:23 - 32)
I was reluctant to write but if I
don’t the LORD take it up with me. And I’d
rather fear GOD then man. What else can I say or do in this capacity my brethren?
What an invitation of the LORD thru his servants the prophets is worthy of your
undivided attention. For if I, the least
among my brethren who am but a man do lift up my voice and call you to
repentance and you hate me, what will you say when you hear the sermons of
heaven making the ears of all that hear tingle? Yea, what would you say then
when you are told by heaven that the day has come and the cup of the wrath of
his indignation is full as stated in the scriptures above?
I know that you will want to lift
up your eyes to heaven and will dare to curse GOD, but the LORD will send a plague of flies your tongues
will be stayed as the acid and the heat boils the eyes of it sockets and you
die or lie down in sorrow to be devoured by beasts and fowls at the Lord’s hand
for so the LORD has spoken it. And as surely
these things must shortly come to pass for as I live, says the LORD,
abominations shall not reign.
Wherefore, I the Lord God will send forth flies
upon the face of the earth, which shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof,
and shall eat their flesh, and shall cause maggots to come in upon them; And their tongues shall be stayed that they shall not utter
against me; and their flesh shall fall from off their bones, and their
eyes from their sockets; And it shall come to pass that the beasts of the
forest and the fowls of the air shall devour them up.
And the great and abominable church, which is the
whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it
is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet, who spoke of these things, which
have not come to pass but surely must, as I live, for abominations shall not
reign.
(Doctrine and Covenants
| Section 29:18 - 21)
Remember this my brethren and
sisters, hearken to my words and give heed to my speech, that if the LORD caused his own house that was
like a tender plant unto him to be burned twice with scorching fire because they
neglected the so called "small button issues" like idolatry, homosexuality, murder and oppressing the
alien, and he spared it not, what shall become of dry wood when the fire approaches
for neglecting "small button issues' as they say, like homosexuality, abortion and
contraception among others?
Catholics react to pope remarks on gays, abortion
Indeed people will often confuse and accept false prophets with true prophets. Sin is truly a bitch. First we denounce it vehemently, then we pity and endure it, and then we accept it with open arms. Or as the Apostle Mark E Petersen puts it.
Remember the little statement
that we used to say about sin,
"First we pity, then endure, then
embrace."
Can two walk together except they
have agreed? Will a Lion roar out of his den if it has no prey? Will a trumpet
be blown in the city and the people do not become afraid? Will evil come upon a
city and the LORD had not KNOWN it? Surely,
nothing will do the LORD without revealing his secrets unto his servants the
prophets. The LION HAS ROARED, WHO WILL NOT FEAR. THE LORD HAS SPOKEN. WHO CAN
BUT PROPHESY? These are not the words of Amos, in chapter 3 of his book, but
you are welcome to compare them. And these things I humbly declare with a
single eye for the honor and glory of GOD. And I do it as one having authority
in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen.
You have been served, warned and
forwarned by an unworthy servant in the hands of Christ.
Attentively Yours

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not KNOWN it?
Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof. For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Beth-el: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground. And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
(Old Testament | Amos 3:1 - 15)
Behold ye, the people of this great city, and hearken unto my words; yea, hearken unto the words which the Lord saith; for behold, he saith that ye are cursed because of your riches, and also are your riches cursed because ye have set your hearts upon them, and have not hearkened unto the words of him who gave them unto you. Ye do not remember the Lord your God in the things with which he hath blessed you, but ye do always remember your riches, not to thank the Lord your God for them; yea, your hearts are not drawn out unto the Lord, but they do swell with great pride, unto boasting, and unto great swelling, envyings, strifes, malice, persecutions, and murders, and all manner of iniquities.
ReplyDeleteFor this cause hath the Lord God caused that a curse should come upon the land, and also upon your riches, and this because of your iniquities.
Yea, wo unto this people, because of this time which has arrived, that ye do cast out the prophets, and do mock them, and cast stones at them, and do slay them, and do all manner of iniquity unto them, even as they did of old time.
And now when ye talk, ye say: If our days had been in the days of our fathers of old, we would not have slain the prophets; we would not have stoned them, and cast them out.
Behold ye are worse than they; for as the Lord liveth, if a prophet come among you and declareth unto you the word of the Lord, which testifieth of your sins and iniquities, ye are angry with him, and cast him out and seek all manner of ways to destroy him; yea, you will say that he is a false prophet, and that he is a sinner, and of the devil, because he testifieth that your deeds are evil.
But behold, if a man shall come among you and shall say: Do this, and there is no iniquity; do that and ye shall not suffer; yea, he will say: Walk after the pride of your own hearts; yea, walk after the pride of your eyes, and do whatsoever your heart desireth—and if a man shall come among you and say this, ye will receive him, and say that he is a prophet. Yea, ye will lift him up, and ye will give unto him of your substance; ye will give unto him of your gold, and of your silver, and ye will clothe him with costly apparel; and because he speaketh flattering words unto you, and he saith that all is well, then ye will not find fault with him.
O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness rather than light? Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity.
ReplyDeleteAnd behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches, that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them; and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them. And in the days of your poverty ye shall cry unto the Lord; and in vain shall ye cry, for your desolation is already come upon you, and your destruction is made sure; and then shall ye weep and howl in that day, saith the Lord of Hosts. And then shall ye lament, and say:
O that I had repented, and had not killed the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out. Yea, in that day ye shall say: O that we had remembered the Lord our God in the day that he gave us our riches, and then they would not have become slippery that we should lose them; for behold, our riches are gone from us. Behold, we lay a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; and behold, our swords are taken from us in the day we have sought them for battle. Yea, we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped away from us, because of the curse of the land.
O that we had repented in the day that the word of the Lord came unto us; for behold the land is cursed, and all things are become slippery, and we cannot hold them. Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls. Behold, our iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn away thine anger from us? And this shall be your language in those days. But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.
O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my words! And I pray that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that ye would repent and be saved.
(Book of Mormon | Helaman 13:21 - 39)
